Masai and Bobby probably already left the war room and on their way home

Still disappointed we didn’t trade for Bufkin

Finally Whitmore goes. Ime Udoka is going to have his work cut out for him, though, navigating development, playing time, and egos with all of these young players.

Still waiting on the two Canadian potential 1st round picks. Maybe one of them goes to Brooklyn with one of their two back-to-back picks?

I honestly am beyond shocked we took Gradey. Absolutely baffled and for more reasons than one.

i am wondering which undrafted player the Raptors are going to sign is my guess, rather than trading for another pick.

i feel like ime udoka got waaay too overrated in the media and your assessment is kinda on point, he's got his work cut out for him

I’m happy with Gradey. I just want Bufkin too

Grab Sidy on the cheap now.

a bought 2nd rounder could net some good value here

Has Masai or Bobby ever made a draft day trade? Have they ever actually done more than just talk about acquiring an additional pick?

Probably the best spot for him in terms of the overall impact he could have on a team. He'd definitely be the grumpy old man in that locker room though. Lol.

But we may still try to bring him back, or else we'll be looking at Malachi Flynn starting at PG for us. Not sure how many starting PGs there are available for the mid-level exception.

Gradey is one slick pocket passer. I'm totally impressed by his highlight video. He's going to fit in really well for us. He basically does 3 or 4 things really well that no one on our team does. I hope he gets minutes from the get go. He's going to make players better around him. Not allowing teams to leave Barnes open on the line next year should really help us.

Man this FO really about to do nothing eh. Just fade me right now what a bummer.
